Thanks for the information.  I will happily link to the NixOS package in our wiki (https://turbovnc.org/About/Software) once the package is generally available.

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I packaged TurboVNC in nixpkgs [1], which is 
the base of the NixOS distro, and also makes it easy to get a recent version of 
TurboVNC on any other Linux distribution using:

     nix-shell -p turbovnc

I also added a NixOS VM test that gets run as part of nixpkgs' CI.
It starts a declaratively VM, runs the TurboVNC Xvnc server in it, and runs 
glxgears, to ensure that headless software-implemented OpenGL rendering via 
Mesa swrast/llvmpipe works.
You can check it out here:

Finally, if that website page is still relevant, it would be cool to add the 
above info on

     https://turbovnc.org/About/Software

I hope to add other things in the future, such as pre-configured setups for 
VirtualGL, or a systemd-sockets-activated NixOS service that spawns TurboVNC 
servers on demand.

Cheers,
Niklas
